Forgotten password

davet82 · 2013-03-26 12:12:34

I have a word 2000 document that I password protected and I haven't a clue what the password is, can anybody point me in the direction of a decent brute force password cracker please? - I tried to download some software and it had a few nasties hidden in it :mad:

Best practice is to write the password on a post it and stick it to a monitor.
At least in my office.
